Carl Barron

Carl Barron is taking his record-breaking show around Australia one last time! Carl will be performing his hilarious smash-hit show ‘Skating Rink for Flies’ for One Night Only at Qudos Bank Arena this November!

Join Carl for one final encore of his brilliant show – Skating Rink for Flies. Voted number one comedian two years running, and after selling a mammoth 300,000 tickets to his previous tour, Carl has added one more run around the country due to outrageous demand! This really is the last chance to catch the hilarious ‘Skating Rink For Flies’ tour. It will be a night where Carl ponders things we all think about but never mention. Things like plastic bags, peanut butter, and the possible emotions of an ant. There is no point to this show other than to make you laugh as much as possible!

Aussie comic Carl Barron announces huge national arena tour

Comedian Carl Barron has announced he will take his record-breaking latest stand-up show for a victory lap around Australia.

Arj Barker: ‘This is your last warning’

A-list star steps out looking unrecognisable

Australian comedian Carl Barron has today announced he will take his record-breaking latest stand-up show for a victory lap around Australia, playing arenas around the country later this year.

Barron will perform his show Skating Rink for Flies for one night only at each venue, playing arena shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth this November and December.

The encore performances come after Barron, one of the country’s most successful comedians for 30 years now, sold a mammoth 300,000 tickets to his previous tour.

The prolific comic is about to start another, previously-announced run of shows, playing smaller venues in Orange, Melbourne and Bendigo in June and July.

“This is your last warning”: Arj Barker addressed his recent controversy head-on in his first show back since BabyGate.

He’s one of the most well-known actors in Hollywood, but this heart-throb looked completely different on the red carpet in LA.

A now-70-year-old former James Bond star looks unrecognisable in these new photos, taken from the set of his next film.
